33、 already made a beauty industry out of this, mining this natural resource, when I remembered that thankfully, it was a protected national possession, located in a national park.That didnt stop Dad and Lalika from making a mud pack, as the two of them smoothed the liquid clay all over their faces, ar

34、ms and legs. The mud also made great war paint and Lalika and I had a really fun time applying it before role playing a fierce battle of the clans (家族).
